On this Earth Day 2016, there is a great deal of
frenzy about how our Earth is going to become
uninhabitable, as the civilized activities of man
allegedly trigger unstoppable global warming and
climate change.

With theObama
administrationset
to commit the U.S. to the Paris climate agreement by
signing our nation onto the document Friday, it is
obvious that science has taken a back seat at theUnited
Nations.

The environmentalists, bureaucrats and politicians
who make up the U.N.’s climate panel recruit
scientists to research the climate issue. And they
place only those who will produce the desired
results. Money, politics and ideology have replaced
science.

U.N. climate chiefChristiana
Figueres has called fora
“centralized transformation” that is “going to make
the life of everyone on the planet very different”
to combat the alleged global warming threat. How
many Americans are looking forward to the U.N.
transforming their lives?

AnotherU.N.
official has admittedthat
the U.N. seeks to “redistribute de facto the world’s
wealth by climate policy.” The former head of the
U.N. climate panel also recently declared that
global warming “is
my religion.”

When all the scare talk is pushed aside, it is the
science that should be the basis for the debate. And
the hard cold truth is that the basic theory has
failed.Many
notable scientistsreject
man-made global warming fears. And several of them,
includinga
Nobel Prize winner, are inthe
newClimate
Hustlemovie.
The film is an informative and even humorous new
feature length movie that is the ultimate answer toAl
Gore’sAn Inconvenient Truth. It
will be shown one day only in theaters nationwide on
May 2.

As a skeptic of man-made global warming, I love our
environment as much as anyone. I share the deepest
commitment to protecting our planet for our children
and grandchildren. However, I desperately want to
get politics out of the climate debate. The Paris
climate agreement is all about empowering the U.N.
and has nothing to do with the climate.
